Angular momentum at null infinity has a supertranslation ambiguity from the lack of a preferred Poincar\'e group and a similar ambiguity when the center-of-mass position changes as linear momentum is radiated. Recently, we noted there is an…

Twistors appear to provide a satisfactory treatment of angular momentum for gravitationally radiating systems. The approach is manifestly Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) invariant, and there are no supertranslation ambiguities. The resulting…
Two puzzles continue to plague our understanding of angular momentum balance in the context of gravitational two-body scattering. First, because the standard definition of the Bondi angular momentum $J$ is subject to a supertranslation…
